Can I take fully take advantage of my 240Hz 1440p 10bit monitor with my GTX 1070?

[KyberKylo77]

On the web it says that the 1070 is DisplayPort 1.2 Certified, DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 Ready but I'm not sure if it natively supports it. Plus I've heard that this monitor needs DSC to work with all of its features which I'm pretty sure the 1070 doesn't have. The monitor im referring to is the Acer XB273UGX.

 

For those of you who are wondering why I'm pairing a 1440p 240Hz monitor with a 1070, its because I'm planning on getting a 3080 as soon as its available at or close to MSRP

 

PS: I'm well aware that the 1070 wont be able to push triple a games at 240, the question was geared more towards compatibility due to the limited bandwidth on DP 1.2 connections

likely not, some refresh rate lower than 240 will show up

Not that it matters as a 1070 will never push those fps except in the light esports games.

Nah, you will most likely get around 60-90fps in AAA games.

In CSGO kinda yes but in anything more demanding... nope

Yep i know, no card can properly push 240 1440p max settings on AAA games, ill only be using it for esports titles.

A monitor is one of the few PC parts that you can actually grow into, which is a kind of future proofing. 
As you already know a 1070 will not get you high FPS in AAA games (only Esports games). 
But when you get your 3080 you will definitely be able to make use of the high refresh rate (maybe not 240 FPS though) but more than a 1070.

When not CPU bound...

I went from a GTX1070 to 2080Ti and practically doubles my FPS in most games or better.

Love the upgrade, 3080 over a 1070 will be eye opening

The 1070 is not a that capable @1440p. A buddy of mine bought a 1440p 144Hz monitor and had to heavily drop quality settings to get to or over 60 fps in many modern games using his 1070. So in terms of performance the 1070 is realisticaly not capable of high refresh rate 1440p unless you're ready to seriously drop settings. And it's DisplayPort is not even capable of DSC, so it's technically not able to run 1440p 240Hz. You might have to run 144/165Hz until you can get a GPU upgrade.

Ok ngl but this post was kinda lazy of me cuz i was expecting a quick answer. Did like 15 mins of research (for some reason it was pretty hard to find what i was looking for) and found out that the 10 series cards can do 1440p 240Hz at 8 bit.

Hey so i have been playing around and i found out you can have 10bit (8bit + FRC) with a 240hz native refresh rate here are the steps i did on my monitor (Asus VG279QM)

1- Download CRU (this trick only works for CRU)

2-once you open it go to the first box the detailed section and go to your current refresh rate which is 240hz click on it and click copy in the right-hand corner

3-close the small window and click ADD in the bottom of the detailed and paste the copied timings and refresh rate

#most important step 4

4- change the refresh rate from 239.xxx to 238.xxx basically lower the refresh rate to 1hz 

5-click on ok and restart using the command in the folder of CRU and go to windows click on you 239hz new refresh rate

6- go to your AMD  or Nvidia control panel and click on 10bit ....your welcome!

 

small note -------------------------------------

if you want to go for 240hz bcz you hate odd numbers continue reading 

1- go delete the first preset that is already been added in CRU which is 249.xxx then restart.

2-go to your current one again 238.xxx and copy it and add a new one and paste it 

3- change the refresh rate to 239.xxx 

and your welcome now your running 10bit with 240hz 

please note you will need a display port for that since it carries alot of data in those signals
